His set up may have been for night racing and he doesn't really care where he starts if he has a good car. I am hoping he starts making the right changes, he is losing ground. Saw him after the first practice smiling and talking with Ryan. He even stuck he head in to talk with Ryan in the car. He doesn't look worried.

He hasn't been doing a lot of interviews lately. He struggled in this race last year, but fought hard and finished ninth. His ten lap average was pretty lousy in happy hour though. I didn't include him in my picks too, but hey by the night's end, I believe he'll be fine.
